Whether you are looking for an amp to drive your power hungry speakers, or looking for a ton of power to control your lowest octaves of music, the Bryston 7B-ST monoblocks are a safe bet. They are priced somewhere in the middle of the high priced cost-no-object field and supply more than ample value. Tonally they are very neutral, but lack some sweetness in the middle. Whether this amp is right for you or not will depend on your other associated equipment, and the type of listening that you prefer to do. These amplifiers can be considered as an example of the highest quality in musical reproduction. If the price is within your reach, and the power within your needs, give em a listen. Just be sure to fasten your seatbelts first.

The Contour S CX utilizes extremely dynamic mid/bass drivers featuring solid aluminium voice coils to offer incredibly high power handling and remarkable low frequency performance, even in large sized rooms. The drivers are integrated onto the massive, damped metal front baffle for absolute resonance control in the relatively large cabinet.

Even at high levels, extreme dynamic impulse will be reproduced accurately. The Contour S CX incorporates the advanced Esotar 2 soft dome tweeter to reproduce the high frequencies, achieving the highest resolution and purest, most homogenous response as recognized from the Contour S 5.4 model from which this tweeter was derived.
The sheer attention to detail reinforces how strongly Dynaudio requires the same abilities from a center speaker as from the main speakers.

A system integrating the S CX deserves a picture quality and image size to match. Thus, the S CX is ideally suited to high-grade, large-screen video systems such as projector or plasma based displays. If the S CX will be used in a setup with a conventional CRT television, it should be placed at a distance of at least 20 cm (8'') from the TV, as the magnetic field generated by the strong magnets used in the Esotar 2 soft-dome tweeter cannot be properly shielded without affecting the speaker's performance. The extraordinarily powerful Neodymium magnets used in the Esotar2 are vital towards achieving the extreme Dynaudio requirements for no-compromise performance and unlimited dynamics.
It also conveys the nature of the Contour S CX concept:
Finally the multi channel objective is fully realized without compromise.
